Creating pagination is quite simple, you can easily do that by using Bootstrap, and JavaScript. However, in this article, we will use HTML and CSS to create pagination.
Pagination is helpful when the website contains lots of content on a single page, and a single page will not look good with all those topics together. Few websites use the scroll to avoid pagination and vice versa. But the best looks come with the combination of scroll and pagination. As a developer, you can put a few contents on a page to make that page a little scrollable until it’s annoying. After that, you can use pagination that will leave those previous content and proceed to the new content page but the topic will be the same.
Creating Structure: In this section, we will just create the basic website structure of the pagination. Here, also we will attach the title attribute so the user can know what will be the content type on the next page of the pagination.
- HTML code to make the structure:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>

Designing Structure: In the previous section, we have created the structure of the basic website where we are going to use CSS.
- CSS code to look good the structure:
CSS
<style>
h1 {
color: green;
}
.pagination_section {
position: relative;
}
.pagination_section a {
color: black;
padding: 10px 18px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.pagination_section a:hover:not(.active) {
background-color: #031F3B;
color: white;
}
a:nth-child(5) {
background-color: green;
color: white;
}
a:nth-child(1) {
font-weight: bold;
}
a:nth-child(7) {
font-weight: bold;
}
.content {
margin: 50px;
padding: 15px;
width: 700px;
height: 200px;
border: 2px solid black;
}
</style>

}
/* pagination hover effect on active*/
a:nth-child(5) {
background-color: green;
